taking train in Vietnam is our favorite part ! The scenery along the way is totally worth it ! nice video on this one Jason! love how real your vlog is!:)
Great stuff! Loved the point A to B content. I find that I look for information like this every time I am planning a trip, and it's more difficult to come by than you'd think!
You definitely captured what the overnight train experience is like. I would do it over and over again if I could. Waking up to the beautiful misty scenery of Sapa was just awesome. Just as awesome as any train experience I remember from Switzerland.
Great soundtrack lol Appreciate the extra hard work you put in to make this video, it's awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your journey from Hanoi to Sapa, really really interesting. Yeah, would be nice to see more videos like this.
@9.54 in the video , guy in grey jacket and glasses , am sure that is my friend from Buon Ma Thuot , Nguyen van Canh , he goes to SAPA to search for new orchids :-) Very interesting .
Wow - small world. On my first visit to Hanoi I stayed in the hotel next door but one to your hostel. When I saw that narrow lane again on your video it made me smile. Great memories. Cheers!
Cold in Nov, 10'C a few years ago - was unprepared, so suffered a bit. A few weeks later, it snowed. So it was a cold year. But beautiful place. Great reminder.
hi i'm from vietnam hanoi. I used to go sapa once before. fansipan mountain with height above 3000 meters is good choice for you if you like climb the mountain. i hope you will have an amazing trip
Hi Jason !!!!! I love to watch your videos so much. You are also a good vlogger.. your my inspiration. Your videos make me interested to travel the world...
JASON BILLAM TRAVEL few months ago I went to Bangladesh cox's bazar... and it was amazing.. I also went to chitagong There food is amazing.. thank you for your support..
Wow, Vietnam is stunning! Will definitely visit some day when I'm old enough to travel alone! Lots of love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 And Jason, as always, amazing vlog. There's just something about your videos that always attracts me
Great video Jason. If you can ride a motorcycle from Hanoi to Sapa via Yen Bai - Mu Cang Chai - Sapa route than you are literally in heaven as that route has over 120 kms of twisties. I just finished the ride, but train sounds great, might take train with my son.
During this Vietnam Trip of yours i was in Bangkok, Thailand... thank you so much for your blogg and i have some ideas about your travel in Hanoi, Vietnam... This coming Feb. 2020 its my 1st visit in Saigon...
Hello. I am MiMi . I come from VietNam. Welcome you go travelling in VietNam.You can go to Phanxipang mountain, Cat Cat waterfall, love waterfall and you can rent a motorbike to go to some villages in Sapa. 3 weeks ago, i also went to Sapa with 4 foreigners and visited that places. Very nice! Enjoy your trip
Xuan Tran Hi! Can I ask you something? I will visit Sapa in Jan next year. Just wondering is it easy to catch a grab over there? Or do you recommend us to rent a car?
@@all7always771 hello. I went to Sapa by bus. I reserved tickets at lý thường kiệt street in Hanoi.in normal day,price of tickets 2ways are 500,000VND. It took us 6hours to go to Sapa. If you wanna go to Sapa,come to Hanoi and send me email: xtran626@gmail.com. i will give you information
@@all7always771 grab in Hanoi will be available. You can walk around Hanoi,visit some places by bus or motorbike,try some foods. To go to Sapa,you can reserve tickets at agency and they will prepare your seats in big car( i call like bus). So comfortable!
Xuan Tran thank you very much for replying. 😊. Yes, we already booked the bus ticket to Sapa. I actually wanna know about the transportation in Sapa. We are afraid it might be hard to move around in Sapa.
Very interesting. Why do they have the music? It would repel me from travelling by train there. It’s a shame as it looks impressive in every other way. Did you experience the catering?
Wow, that train looks so good, I have never gone by train in VietNam. Next time I'd like to try the train from Ho Chi Minh to Ha Noi, they said views on this way are really amazing and Have a nice trip in Vietnam
I visited Sapa a month ago and I have to admit that Sapa did change a lot. As a Vietnamese myself, I don't like the Sapa town at all, it's way too expensive, noisy, crowded and dusty. But you should still hang around there in day time. I would highly recommend people to spend your night in Ta Van. There are lots of homestay with cheaper price but I'm sure everyone will like this place as it's not only beautiful but also peaceful. I stayed at a homestay named Hmong house and fell in love with the beautiful view there. If you have great budget, Topas ecolodge would be a great choice as well. I hope my experience and opinion will be helpful for people who's planning on visiting Sapa
And yes, the tea in northern Vietnam is very d bitter. Gets very cold by the way. Especially in winter time. People should not be fooled into thinking it is hot all year long. I have worked in Vietnam for 12 years. I also speak Vietnamese, so no the place very well. Sorry if there are mistakes, I am visually impaired and using dictation
Question; where do you get your clothes washed at? With all the humidity and hot weather, i would imagine your clothes are full of sweat on a daily basis.
I took the overnight train between Hanoi and Danang (SE1) and found it to be very much like the one you were on. I was cool with sharing the soft sleeper but my husband, not so much. LOL The train trip was amazing and the food they sold on the train was simple but tasted fantastic! The only bad thing was the washroom... about halfway into the trip, it started getting almost unusable for a woman and the smell... well, that was an experience LOL BUT... I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I'm convinced that traveling by train is the only way to go in Vietnam, although we also did the overnight bus to Saigon (that wasn't so much fun).
Enjoying your videos, I will be traveling to north Vietnam in September I am curious to hear more about the weather, rain and appropriate clothing (synthetic for quick drying?). Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jason, which train did you end up going with? It looks the cleanest and most modern compared to the other ones I've been researching. Thanks in advance!
Where is the Ga HaNoi located ? Very nice video . I actually went to sapa 2004. Lots of good memories about the place and the people but I hated the ride on our big bus very scary to me .
It awesome where ever you are looking very good lots of green and very high up there thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks. 9-12-18:
Shout out to the guy staring down the camera, he gave a thumbs up so you know he approves this video.
taking train in Vietnam is our favorite part ! The scenery along the way is totally worth it ! nice video on this one Jason! love how real your vlog is!:)
The scenery in the morning? Did you take the train at night too? Which side of the train would you suggest? Right or Left?
Yo i just watched your video Divert Living
Do you guys to Cao Bang is??
One of the most informative videos of the nitty gritties of getting from one city to a rural area - bravo!
Great stuff! Loved the point A to B content. I find that I look for information like this every time I am planning a trip, and it's more difficult to come by than you'd think!
Glad to hear it, will try to do more of these videos!
Your videos are helping me a lot for my long stay in Vietnam. Thanks
Jason I have to admire you your no fear go anywhere attitude is amazing .Stay safe and good luck with your travels

Thank you so much for such great videos. It feels like we are traveling with you. Keep up the good work Jason.

Great video. Which train carrier is this? There are like five different carriages, Chapa, Sapalay, etc.
Hello. I live in Lao Cai and very close to Sapa. Welcome to SaPa. Winter is coming. It will be very cold. Attention to health 😊😊😊

Very interesting.

Good video showing much variety of Vietnam life and culture. Classy train not sure if any trains that nice available in Europe.
Agreed, and for the inexpensive cost, it’s unbelievable value
Night journeys r always peaceful..
I know it's been like 3 years but 9:50 shout out to that man wearing glasses
Wow, that train looks so good, I have never gone by train in VietNam. Next time I'd like to try the train from Ho Chi Minh to Ha Noi, they said views on this way are really amazing

Great review. Very interesting. Peaceful commentary.

did he say 17 degrees? lol I was up there over Christmas and we had about 6 or 7
Very nice video
Hi Jason, please do more A->B / transit videos - it's very useful to know how you got to/from places you're vlogging about.
I missed the moment when I was taken the same train to sapa. Good video
nice location, waterfall, hill,full of green.
Omg that guy who stared into your camera at 9.56 made me trip out so much 😂😂😂
You showed the weather but it would have been nice to mention the date ? If I can ask 2 years later ;) ? Cheers
Oh i love Sapa..nice town...
Hey Jason, love the video. What bike lock would you recommend for backpacks?
Question; where do you get your clothes washed at? With all the humidity and hot weather, i would imagine your clothes are full of sweat on a daily basis.
Very useful, thanks. What time of the year again?
Awesome.
wow . my Vietnam's very beautiful .
Very enjoyable video!

Good day! What time did you leave from hanoi to sapa? Thanks!

I know this video is old, but if you happen to be reading comments, do you remember what was in that Bánh mì? It looked amazing.
May I asked which month of the year did you travelled to Sapa?
I am from Vietnamese. Nice to meet you!
